Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

Hello everyone, my name is Neal Johnson and I am extremely interested in getting into Overlanding. I just bought a Dodge Ram rebel. I know its probably not the best suited vehicle but wanted something big enough for the family and the dog to come. The closest overloading experience I have is probably from deployments of driving the MRAPs everywhere. I look forward to meeting some of you soon.

Location: Port Angeles, WA
Rig: 2011 Jeep Wrangler
Overlanding experience: novice
We recently got into overlanding. It’s been about a year, but we have just recently actually stayed overnight on two separate occasions. The first was at a State Park. The second was at the Northwest Overland Rally 2019. Before that we have just been doing day trips.
I have been doing research and slowly buying the things needed to camp. As I learn about off-roading and overlanding I have learned we need to do some more under carriage upgrades to better match what the previous owner did to the Jeep. We are still learning and we are eager to learn more on how to safely do overlanding.

Hey Everyone.

I'm the proud new owner of a 2012 Xterra, and here to learn from the community. My partner and I are avid hikers and backpackers, but I'm new to a vehicle bigger than my VW GTI. With the new truck I'm hoping we can get farther, further, safer.
Looking forward to talking to others here.

Hi everyone! So glad to finally be a member of the OB community!

I am an avid camper and absolutely LOVE the outdoors. We have a group I founded here in Richmond, VA called "TRAIL HOUNDS" and anybody that is in or around the Richmond area, we'd love to link up and have a fun outing!

Anyway, let me introduce myself and my rig. My name is Nathan, aka 4LO_Panda, and I drive a 2008 dodge ram 1500. It's very molded and looks like a show truck, but believe me performance and off roading function was my goal.

I mainly go to George Washington National Forrest & the shenandoah area for my camping/overlanding needs. I love to explore, love to relax, and love making new connections! Thanx!

Nice bumper!

2) Location (General area is fine) - Salt Lake County, Utah.
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.) - 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, also currently working on my M416 trailer to pull behind my Jeep and keep the tent on. Friend of mine helped me build the rack for my trailer which we are dropping it onto it this week once I get the frame back. My wife and I really want to have the ability to have a base camp when we aren't on a trail camping or when we want to take the kids. It can be a bit tough to get three teenagers, two adults and camping gear into a Jeep.
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!) - I dunno, novice? Done plenty of camping / hiking / mountain biking in the past but really only started camping more out of a vehicle and off-roading in the last two years.

Thanks I certainly will. Sorry I took so long to sign up! I've been slacking and trying to get my trailer done, hoping to have it put together and primed this weekend, and been working on my Jeep trying to get her ready for the season... that is already here... But new suspension goes in next week :D

Hello OB Community!

On May 29th I picked up a 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Crew Cab.
We'll be sailing out of Seattle, Wa.
I'm experienced in backpacking and extended rafting trips around the west, but I'm a novice in vehicle assisted overlanding. Can't wait to learn!

Here's the rig on June 8th after a week of rafting on the Rogue River in southern Oregon :)
